DH was promoted Friday and then...
Demoted today!!! He works in a yard loading trucks and he was promoted to shift supervisor on Friday (with no pay raise), they have been talking to him about this promotion for weeks, and then today they said they decided they cant promote him because of his points (everyday late is half a point and every day missed is a point, he has accrued 10 points in 16 months). I understand this, but why didnt they think of this BEFORE they promoted him!! He was so excited! So proud of himself, couldnt wait to tell his family and now they decide to demote him, but would like him to stay shift supervisor until they can move things around to get another guy in there for shift supervisor!!! WTF!!! On top of this, he went to the plant manager today and thanked him so much for the recognition, said I wont let ya down blah blah blah, the plant manager KNEW he was demoting him, but shook his hand and was nice to him etc.. and NEVER said to him, well you are not promoted anymore. About an hour later he gets the news that he has no promotion! Now he feels like a total jacka$$ for even saying anything.
I dont understand how campanies can treat their employees like that!!
Re: DH was promoted Friday and then...
And that is exactly my issue. I understand they cant promote him due to the points. I get that. But they have been talking about this for 2 weeks now and he is the assistant supervisor, so he should get the promotion, he has been doing the job of supervisor for a few weeks now. The other thing that jsut kills me is that the guy that they ARE promoting (instead of DH) was caught smoking weed AT WORK a few months ago. Somehow he passed the drug test, but he is on film smoking weed!!!! DH is extremely discouraged, i agree it would be good if he can keep on going the way he is going and hopefully get a raise and a promotion soon, but this is a really hard pill to swallow for him. Ugh
Totally unacceptable. I think that would bother me almost as much as the rest of it. What's their drug policy??
Oh. my. WOW.
That's despicable! I'm speechless!!
Diagnosed with High FSH, low folical count, and absent anti mullerian count 08/11
They drug tested the guy that is being promoted and the guy he got caught smoking with and one guy failed, so he was fired on the spot and this guy passed. I have no idea how he passed and why that even matters! But I gues they need something more solid than what is on tape?? Maybe the video of it is sketchy of something. But I know it was because he passed the test that he still has a job. THe details are sketchy.
DH is also torn as to whether or not he should stay at this job. He has been there for a long time compared to EVERYONE else there including the plant manager. It is hard to say if him staying after this would prove him to be a team player, or a doormat? When raise time came around last year he got a 2 cent raise, because the week they were giving out raises he had one loader error!! THey said they would rethink it in 6 months, but that was the old plant manager, and the new plant manager is not ignoring it. When he switched from second to first shift he lost his shift differential pay. So he is making LESS now than when he was first hired over a year ago, and he did get moved up to assistant supervisor!. He already feels like he is their doormat.
I think i am more frustrated about this than he is!!
